I am just destroyed by this. I genuinely had a little faith in humanity that people wouldn’t fall for this bullshit but I guess I sorely was mistaken.
Laitmer is a conservative, racist piece of shit who is going to take over Manchin’s job of fucking things up for progressives. Fucking hell this sucks.
To top it off, Israel just successfully dropped a political nuke on a critic and will likely have everyone running scared in the future.
It matters though. The weight of a single Rep in the House is far less than a US Senator. It sucks, of course, but very relevant. He can’t be a Manchin.
You can abuse your position as a holdout and potentially fuck everything up in either chamber. Bills require passage in both chambers… but I’m sure you knew that.
I just hope there are enough gains in the house to make his ass irrelevant.

Machin is in a different chamber
Way to focus on the important parts 🙄

And then in a decade or so when Israel does something equally heinous we’ll have an entire new generation wondering why the US supports Israel.
Israel also failed with every other progressive so far. And this guy had a target on his back from the day he pulled the fire alarm to delay a vote.
This guy had a target on his back because he’s a progressive. The fire alarm thing was just a weak spot.
That’s my point. He gave them ammunition. He made himself a joke. You can’t survive that without big party support.
He created a vulnerability, yes. aipac exploited it.
I agree.
